The Grado The Hemp Headphones are limited-edition on-ears with an eye-catching hemp and maple build. However, these premium materials don't really translate into a premium build quality as the foam earpads feel a bit cheap. Some users may even find their on-ear fit uncomfortable. As they're designed for neutral sound, their open-back enclosure means they let in a lot of ambient sound and in turn, leak a lot of audio. Some may find their wired-only design, lack of microphone, and companion app limiting. That said, they're very well-balanced in the mids, and their sound profile is a bit warm overall. If you're just using them to listen to your favorite albums or if you like to collect limited-edition drops, they're a good choice for the discerning audiophile.
